Well my shields are working but the firewall is not - everything has full access to the net regardless of changing the default action to "ask", setting up a custom rule (ignored), and no rules are being created other than those related to the apps running at the time of the install (so avast has rules, microsoft system etc., but nothing else.
YIKES
Avast has been less that stellar with updates, but this one is completely screwed.
Yes, I have tried just the update, and then a full reinstall, and also a installation on a new machine - win 7 x64 ultimate.
Paid AIS btw.
